Blog Kiosk: 4/23/2014 - Dodger Links - We Do Deserve an Apology

Via Howard Cole at LA Weekly, "Time Warner Owes Us an Apology. And So Do the Dodgers." I've been agnostic about this whole situation, but am finding myself more disturbed about it. Howard is right, at some point, if this ever gets worked out, they (and I mean all of them-Dodgers-TWC-Comcast-DISH-etc.-All of Them) owe fans an apology. A quote from Howard's piece is below:

Love does not mean never having to say you're sorry. In fact, an apology
of some sort is definitely indicated when the tear-jerker of a love
story we're talking about is Dodger baseball - - and the Southland's
inability to cherish what is nearly as precious to many of us as a
family member.

Ken Levine, formerly of Dodger Talk, sums up my feelings about Linkedin precisely. Heck, I kinda feel that way about all the social networks. I am constantly surprised at how folks take any of it seriously, yet I understand and appreciate the importance that the self-promotion provides. A comment I read on Ken's post really rings true:

LinkedIn is like a bunch of people at a marketing/networking conference
seminar at a crappy hotel: Everyone spends their time standing around
touching all the donuts in the back, not really knowing anyone, and
trying not to seem out of touch or awkward. Nobody knows how to really
use the damn thing, why they're even there, or why it even matters
beyond "I got sent here because the boss thinks this is important
somehow ... but I get a free day out of the office, so I'm kinda all
good".
